Some EK II from 1 Panzer Division

[Angel Farré]

Time to show some more pieces from my favorite division.

This time three citations for the EK II, unfortunately all came alone, but who cares, they are from the 1 Panzer Division.

First one for a brave Panzergrenadier, Obergefreiter Ernst Rises who received it while serving with 9./Schützen Regiment 113, probably during the battles in Dubyssa, crossing the Duna river.

Signed by Generalleutnant Friedrich Kirchner who won the next medals:
RK on May 20th, 1.940 as Generalleutnant and Kdr. der 1 Panzer Division
OL (391) on February 12th, 1.944 as General der Panzetruppe and Kdr. LVII Pz.Korps.
S (127) on January 26th, 1.945 with the same rank and position as his OL
DKiG on April 22nd, 1.942 as Generalleutnant and Kdr. der 1 Panzer Division.

Now to complete my collection of EK citations with signatures of all 1 Panzer Division commanders I need one signed by Marks and another by Thunert.

And to have all years one dated 1.945.

Don't worry when obtained I am not going to stop collecting this unit.
